Turns out the answer was BEMA (see https://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Quizzes-and-Puzzles/Crosswords/Question1740960.html)

By metonymy, bema was also a place of judgement, being the extension of the raised seat of the judge, as described in the New Testament, in Matthew 27:19 and John 19:13, and further, as the seat of the Roman emperor, in Acts 25:10, and of God, in Romans 14:10, when speaking in judgment.
